<span class="link_user">@UDUDUDUDU</span>, Did anyone say bees make pollen? Pollen and bee pollen are two separate things. Bees make bee pollen. That&#039;s why the call it Bee pollen.

<span class="link_user">@Oldwied</span>, I hope you&#039;ll be correct mate :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: but we&#039;ll see

<span class="link_user">@tantrumrage</span>, Awesome man. Sounds like your off to an earlier start with the rice hulls than me. I wish I would have started adding them sooner. I think perlite does has lots of disadvantages. Wish I lived on the west coast to get pumice cheaper. although lava rock is pretty cheap here. its like 6 dollars for a 1 cubic foot bag. One thing I recommend just from my own anecdotal evidence. Get some bio-char in there too if you don&#039;t have any. I think It is a big part of why my reused soil still performs well if not better each time. All you need is a nice bag of hardwood charcoal and something to inoculate it with. This can be done for next to free at home with waste materials too. but for most people is going to be easiest getting a bag of real hardwood charcoal and some fish hydrolysate to make a soup or it to soak in for a few days to a week. There are so many options of what you could do. I&#039;ve thought about taking my old stems and stalks from grows and turning them into char. I used boogie brew compost tea some liquid fish and kelp. did go anerobic or smelly or anything. did it in a galvanized troth out in the garden with a peice of carboard laying on top to keep bugs out.

<span class="link_user">@MindFlowers68</span>, thanks for your reply :) I&#039;ve only started recycling my soil about 1.5 years ago and decided against perlite, I&#039;ve also added lava rock and pumic stones to keep it airy and rice hulls as well. Your plants seem to love your mixture, keep it going!

<span class="link_user">@MindFlowers68</span> Boogie Brew is a miracle water.

<span class="link_user">@tantrumrage</span>, Thank you! I usually start with a new mix for the seedlings in 5 gallon pots but they get transplanted into a mix that&#039;s been recycled for 3 years now. I re-amend after each round to try to replace what the plants take out. The pearlite seems like its holding up pretty good. I notice a little bit breaking down but it still does it job. One of the reasons I add it, hopefully liberating some of the silica. I have a lot of other aeration in my mix though. this round trying out rice hulls added I have some pumice in the pot they will be transplanted into my first grow but not much. The red lava rock seems to help, it is cost effective but It needs to be broken into smaller pieces before adding it.

<span class="link_user">@PurpleCityGenetics</span>, So what happened guys? I never heard back from you. I sent a few messages on Instagram and no reply. I&#039;m trying to give you guys a chance to redeem yourselves I know things get busy and forgotten about. I could have used that diary to enter into another contest for a breeder that would have delivered. Not trying to bust anyone&#039;s balls here or be negative but It feel like you really don&#039;t care at this point.
